I'm Harley, an engineer by trade, with a love of numbers and analysis. I worked at Apple looking at all things data, sales and performance. Previously I've written systems processes with the Department of Defence and helped build robotic manipulators.

Outside of work, I am passionate about making and learning – be it building, or working towards a post-grad in Applied Finance. I enjoy staying active and training for my next endeavour. I nerd out on reading, coffee and big ideas.
